Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a long-term, progressive, and recurrent intestinal inflammatory disorder. The pathogenic mechanisms of IBD are multifaceted associated with oxidative stress, unbalanced gut microbiota, aberrant immune response. Indeed, stress can affect the progression development by regulating homeostasis microbiota Therefore, redox-targeted therapy promising treatment option for IBD. Recent evidence has verified that Chinese herbal medicine (CHM)-derived polyphenols, natural antioxidants, able to maintain redox equilibrium in tract prevent abnormal radical responses. Here, we provide comprehensive perspective implementing antioxidants as potential candidate medications. In addition, demonstrate novel technologies stratagems promoting antioxidative properties CHM-derived including delivery systems, chemical modifications, combination strategies.

Abstract Resveratrol is a widely recognized polyphenolic phytochemical found in various plants and their fruits, such as peanuts, grapes, berry fruits. It renowned for its several health advantages. The well known anticancer properties, substantial amount of clinical evidence has also established promise chemotherapeutic agent. This study focuses on assessing the properties resveratrol gaining insight into underlying molecular mechanisms. evaluates biopharmaceutical, toxicological characteristics, utilization to determine suitability further development reliable Therefore, information about preclinical studies was collected from different electronic databases up‐to‐date (2018–2023). Findings this revealed that potent therapeutic benefits against cancers involving mechanisms, induction oxidative stress, cytotoxicity, inhibition cell migration invasion, autophagy, arresting S phase cycle, apoptotic, anti‐angiogenic, antiproliferative effects by regulating pathways including PI3K/AKT, p38/MAPK/ERK, NGFR‐AMPK‐mTOR, so on. However, compound poor oral bioavailability due reduced absorption; limitation overcome applying nanotechnology (nanoformulation resveratrol). Clinical application showed types cancer with no serious adverse effects. We suggest additional extensive check efficacy, safety, long‐term hazards. could involve larger number samples establish drug treatment cancer.

Focal adhesion plaques (FAPs) play an important role in the communication between cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) cells' migration. FAPs are macromolecular complexes made by different proteins which also interact with metalloproteinases (MMPs). Because of these fundamental properties, MMPs involved cancer invasion metastatic cascade. The most FAP formation activity (i) integrins, (ii) a complex intracellular (iii) cytoskeleton proteins. latter, together MMPs, filopodia invadopodia needed for cell movement ECM degradation. Due to their key migration invasion, components often upregulated thus potential targets therapy. Polyphenols, large group organic compounds found plant-based food beverages, reported have many beneficial healthy effects, including anticancer anti-inflammatory effects. In this review, we discuss growing evidence demonstrates that polyphenols can inhibit various pathways like PI3K/Akt, lower focal kinase (FAK) phosphorylation decrease invasiveness, leading overall antitumoral effect.
